Virgin 1083 reactors vs Chad 40 minute Usopp essayists:

They aren't lies, they're dreams. That's why they keep coming true.

what i love about usopp is techincally his dream has come true already. being brave does not mean being without fear. it means that despite that fear you face the situation ahead of you. his story isn't over but usopp is already a brave warrior of the sea. within the definition of brave it says to show courage. 'brave: adjective, ready to face and endure danger or pain; showing courage." Courage is "the ability to do something that frightens one." Usopp is a brave warrior of the sea.

You shouldn't forget that usopps place in the crew is a jack of all trades he may not be excelling in an area like the others but usopp is A carpenter Botanist(grows his pop green next to nami's orchard) Hairdresser(Oda confirms he cuts the crews hair) Handyman( whenever luffy wants something simple built like a fishing rod or some tennis rackets usopp provides) strategist Sniper Artist(literally painted one of the most iconic jolly rogers in the series) the guy is a bit llike sokka from Avatar. he doesn't excel heavily in any area but fails to see his usefulness compared to his peers who are damn near god level

That last minute just made me realize than Usopp basically had his own "Nothing Happened" moment long before Zoro, with the added weight that keeping the event secret kept him looking 'bad' (cowardly / a liar) in the eyes of his village. That's cool.

Would be insane if Elbaf had tales of Usopp because hes been the one constantly saving the 5 giants we've seen. DORRY BROGGY OIMO KASHII HAJRUDIN. Like they all got saved by him. Like directly benefitted from his heroics. Would be amazing to see them honour Usopp and excited to meet him while he himself thinks they are the ones who will inspire him

I think Usopp is a fantastic character. He is so underrated.

When you put it this way I think Oda is also relating himself as Usop because he is the Storyteller who is telling us the lies we are happy to imagine to be true.

Usopp was a key player in freeing the toys which was start of Doflamingo's fall. Usopp has also actively fought the government and been successful. That's more than any of us can do. He's also an extremely talented marksman with a variety of attacks.

How can he call himself a brave warrior of the sea, if he hasn't even helped his Captain complete his quest yet? I think this is how Usopp feels.

Zoro is my favorite character but Usopp is easily the best written character in the series to me. Usopp sniping to save Robin from the Tower of Law is my personal favorite Strawhat moment.

And, after all the adventures, the One Piece is just an Usopp's story and Laughtale is the place where everyone's sitting hearing him... The end.

Ngl this video made me a bit emotional in some parts. Great stuff. Also, Tamanegi wanting to become an author and the lie of him and his friends about the pirates coming becoming true with Usopps return has me sold that the Usopps Fable book will happen. This is my head canon now.

I love the fact that after the events of Wano even chopper beats out Usopp, but his dream isn't to be the strongest or most powerful, his dream is to be able to conquer his fears and become brave and we see him doing that more and more, he's now casually getting into fights that he would never think of back in the Grand line, not to mention the east blue, so I'm excited to see where he goes now that he gets to claim that he's a part of the crew that took down two emperors, I'm hoping he doesn't become all stoic and Zoro-esque by the end of the series, I hope you still keeps that slapstick with chopper and Luffy and has that jovial younger attitude, but his character growth is definitely some of my favorite by far because when I was younger I had a lot of social anxiety and I could barely hold a conversation with someone my age and eventually I realized how goofy that fear was and started getting older and started maturing more and realized how easy it is to hold a conversation and become brave in those situations so I find a bit of myself in Usopp

Growing up in Greece, I would often listen to cassette tape recordings of Aesop's fables as my bedtime story. They definitely have persisted through the ages.

Usopp will forever have my respect because Luffy and Law could be toys chillin on dressrosa right now but they ain't.

I know this isn’t important, but to continue to tie Usopp to literature, the Tontatta are also a reference to Gulliver’s Travels, especially with how Leo captured Robin

Usopp is very creative and it is a testament to usopp that he is able to be a jack of all trades. He built namis clami tact, patched the merry, commands the day to day of the crew a lot and is the grand fleets captain. He also wad able to assimilate and integrate new tech (dials) and learned advanced biology with his pop greens. Dude is no joke he is just on a team with a bunch of monsters. Even physically oda said he was alabasta zoro strength

Another Hidden W, to hear praise on my favorite character in the best way possible is a gift really.

Based on everything you laid out I think Usopp’s climax would come from lies about his skill, but the lie actually gets him in an argument with a giant who calls his bluff and Usopp is forced to back up his talk to defend his honor as a brave. Oda could add impact and tension to this moment easily especially if he doesn’t make his lie come true the crew could be in danger or if it’s connected to a final power up for him. Like a dangerous trial he has to overcome after talking out his backside and betting “anything” that he could best the record of said trial. Either way loved this video, I think Usopp is underrated. He is so interesting , irritating sometimes, but like you said that feeling is probably because we see ourselves in him Can’t wait for more content like this, you did such a fantastic job

Mannnn, what a great video. Goosebumps thinking about the Usopp’s arc being capped off by “Usopp the hero” - so much potential there for Oda to work with

This is why my favorite character is Usopp and I'm most excited for his dream. At this point everyone already knows Luffy will be Pirate King, it's already set in bedrock. However, if the man in the crew who's the most like me can achieve their grand impossible dream, it means I can too.

Nami is relatable to me. If Usopp is the everyman, Nami is the everywoman.

Apologies to any channel members whose comments disappeared from the early access. I changed a setting on the vid prior to publishing, youtube bugged out and erased the prior comments. Sorry guys, feel free to repost your stuff if you want

This is the Usopp video we needed! Only you would have clicked on Sogeking's theme song = Kamen Rider's. Everything you said here was right on point. All the SHs are going to be legends, and Usopp will be one of the most colorful. I agree there's going to be a sniper challenge at some point; what I think/hope we'll see was foreshadowed by Igaram when he warned Vivi that she could be shot by someone from a great distance. We saw Van Auger shoot down those seagulls from miles off Jaya. If Van Auger takes aim at Vivi in the last battle, Usopp's greatest sniper feat would be shooting that fatal bullet out of the air before it hits Vivi. And the great irony of it? Only Usopp would ever know he had done it.

I like to imagine post series Usopp will return to Syrup Village and they will ask him where he disappeared to for a few years. He will obviously smugly tell them he travelled the grand line on the pirate kings crew. That he has a bounty worth hundreds of millions. That he is a brave warrior of the sea. Only to have them all laugh and go "Oh that's classic Usopp" and not believe him when he for the first time told them the truth. Then I imagine he will just laugh and go "You got me," while winking at Kaya and the kids who know he was telling the truth.

This is really well written. Great job. There are some lines where I was like, “woah.” This actually made me like and appreciate Ussop more. I kind of go in and out of liking him. I feel like Oda has been waiting for Ussop to get to the final saga so he could finally use him in the way he intended to. I also love that this seems like a video I can show any person without spoiling much.

GOD USOPP shoutings in the background were synced perfectly with the beat❤❤

If you already said this, forgive me. But I think a key factor in Usopp's transition into his dream is when his virtue of bravery ceases to be vanity. He wants to be a brave warrior not because he can not be anything else, but because he thinks that's what he should be. His heart isn't in it yet. Like a king who wants peace because his followers will revere him highly, instead of wanting safety and security for his people. When Usopp stops trying and simply is, is when he will achieve his dream in my opinion.

I remembered being the only kid in school thinking that usopp is amazing. I really loved how He cheered kaya up with his Storys. ❤

I’ve always recognized how relatable Usopp is, and that’s why he’s always been my favorite.

Usopp’s battle vs Perona is one of the greatest battles in all of One Piece. I think Thriller Bark in itself is vastly underrated and that fight is at the forefront of why this arc is so highly underrated. To start off, I think Usopp’s fight in particular is not only underrated, but it’s one of my favorite One Piece experiences. Usopp does such a great job of using his limited resources to mass effect pulling out a win vs an opponent who is vastly superior to him in almost all areas save for creativity. And it’s this creativity where we see Usopp shine. His absolute fear drives him to his peak much like the power of friendship drives Luffy. When he pounded down with Usopp’s Hammer I cheered loud enough to frighten my dog. It was such a kick ass moment. And the bugs was such an ironic touch using fear in the house of fear. And it is this irony that makes all of Thriller Bark shine. There are so many great moments where Oda uses pop cultural references to create gags that make me laugh as hard as any gag in One Piece. For instance when the zombies broke out into the spontaneous flash dance had me howling. And when the cowardly trio hid inside of Kamusey and he couldn’t tell Perona because she wouldn’t let him talk because she hated the sound of his voice. Brilliant. And how Usopp wasn’t affected by Perona’s ghosts because he was already at his lowest is not only hilarious but it also shows us what Usopp has to deal with during every Straw Hat mission. I know one of the reasons why people dislike this arc so much is due Sanji’s pervy declaration in his fight vs Absolam but I think most have it wrong. Sanji doesn’t want to actually do these things, it’s just his fantasy. Dark and gross as it is it’s only a fantasy. And for Sanji to see this fantasy in real life disturbs him in numerous ways, mainly it taints his own fantasy and it violates his nakama. So he gets more angry than we’ve seen him prior and he makes Absolam pay the price. I mean, come on, let’s give our curly eyebrowed friend the benefit of the doubt. So yeah, this arc is awesome. It’s funny. It has great fights. It introduces Kuma, shows us that nothing happened, and finishes with Brook’s tale of Laboon. What more do you want?

Usopp’s my absolute favorite. I adore him. He has so much heart and creativity. And he’s so freaking funny. His battles are some of my favorites because of how unexpected they are.

Usopp is one of the most influential people in the world, he just doesn't see it in himself

Usopp always walked the line between dreaming and lying. He is surrounded by others saying ridiculous and far fetched goals and dreams that never even compared to the lies he told. "I'm gonna map the world, find the One Piece and find the All Blue". So confronted with his simple lies and hearing these crazy dreams made him realize, and all of us too, that the only difference between lying and dreaming is the intention to see them through. So come aboard and bring along, all your hopes and dreams, for in this essay ill be...

I'll be honest, if I was in the One Piece world. I wouldn't really think of my self as Shanks or even Ussop. I doubt i'd be capable of anything that Ussop has achieved so far. Who I related to most, is probably Dadan.

one piece theories shouldnt make me cry but "ussopp the hero" is beautiful

The funniest headcanon for me it's the potential of Usopp, with the help of Nami and Zeus, pretend and lies as Thor, god of thunder, to aspire Elbaf giants

Usopp is one of my favs I just hope he gets proper limelight during Elbaf. Like I really expected Wano to be Zoro-centric, but Luffy always steals the show in the end

Usopp has been one of my favorite characters since I started reading One Piece, no joke. :)

Usopp always way my favorite mugiwara, as such i enjoyed every second of this. TY man

i don't understand why people keep calling usopp a liar, the man never said anything but the truth.

I love how in the most recent chapter, Ussop's dad is too afraid to meet him despite being a member of the red-hair pirates

I like the idea of Ussop as the narrator bc it gives him a meta function that without it leaves him lacking on the strawhat crew

I always thought that Ussop would gain his title from defeating a giant with a single shot from his slingshot just like David and Goliath.

8:30 this part gave me chills, well done 👏 👏

The parallels to Don Quixote are always a bit uncomfortable, because the intent in which this character was written, the goal of the author back then, was to make fun of "nerds" (or the equivalent at that time), people who got so caught up in their books and fantasy that they lost touch with reality. Whereas One Piece in general and Usopp in particular are all about the importance of not limiting yourself to "reality", about how "reality" can be improved upon, but only if people are allowed to dream.

I still belive he will get the Ink Ink Fruit as his final power up. Its 100% fitting for him.

I honestly have grown to love Ussop since water 7 conflict. To me, he is already a brave warrior of the sea but he himself has such little belief in his own capabilities. I remember that scene in the pre time slip where Nani asked Usopp to make her a weapon because she and he were not monsters like the others, they’re just normal people. However, as was shown in Dressrosa where Usopp potentially awakened his observation haki, he has huge potential to be great, if only he believed in himself. When I considered Usopps character, I see myself and how much self doubt I’ve had to overcome and still do. Like him, I never thought I’d amount to anything but always dreamed of being great. I’ve made a lot of progress just like Usopp but the fear of hope is what sets me back. I think Usopps character is going to grow massively during the Elbaph arch and I think Loki might be a big factor in this.

I think that Usopp may not even need to prove himself as he might already be revered by the Giants and we don't know for sure yet. It isn't only Broggy and Dorry. There is also the 2 giants freed from Ennys Lobby and there is the Giant from the Strawhat fleet that might already has spread legends of how Usopp freed an entire country in Dressrosa. I wouldn't be surprised if they arrive in Elbaf only to see a giant statue of Usopp with the words "Brave Warrior of the Sea" in it.

I hope their time at Elbaf soon doesnt just turn into a reunion or fight with Shanks, Usopp is my favorite character and I can't wait to see what he accomplishes in Elbaf

It is also worth noting that in norse culture, telling tall tales (being a skald) is something honorable

For anyone who hadn't seen Saint Jay's "One Piece is Real", in his edition with recon they basicly point out how Jaya as an arc is the embodiment of "art imitates life" with Oda just off his biggest moment up to that point(Enis Lobby), his first thought was ti write an arc about dreams and imbewing how he felt at that time irl into the story. All that to say that I personally believe all the arcs where Usopp gets a big "Usopp Moment" are parts where all the themes of his charecter perfectly tie into and enhance the plot and themes of the arc. The perfect examples are W7/Enies Lobby, Skypia, and a little in Skypiea arguably, and ESPECIALLY Dressrosa. It's actually amazing how much this video recontextualizes the way Oda was able to tie all these things together. I could literally rant about just how amazing all the connections Oda makes are perfect in terms of just 1 arc based soley off this video, which goes to show how masterful Oda is when his Pen on Mera-Ifrit timing.

He is also one of the only 5 Straw Hats that can actually use Haki. Sure he can only use the color of observation and learned it in Dressrosa. But nonetheless the fact that he can use it and not the other members and members like Brook who has spent years sailing and figthing says alot.

Usopp is what Batman would be logically. Overshadowed and working for his place. But awesome all on his own.

Usopp's position as a sniper has so much potential for the story! I really hope that Oda puts more use for those technical skills for a well-earned victory!

Usopp has always been my favorite one piece character, and one thing he doesn't get enough credit for in my opinion is, when the shit hits the fan and the situation is very serious/ dire, usopp mans up and plants his shaking feet firmly in the dirt to stand up for what he believes in

I think Elbaph will be Usopp's arc like how I think egghead will ultimately be Franky's arc after watching your video. He will heroically save Elbaph and be recognized for it using his marksman skills like you said. I also think he will be the one to lead the straw hat fleet in the final war. It would be a surreal tale for him to star in. "The leader of the warriors in the war to free the world of oppression". That would be epic I think.

Considering the theory that Usopp's lies become true as the story progresses, I am genuinely convinced Usopp is going to awaken to his Conquerer's haki at some point. He claimed to posess CoC during the Raid on onigashima, and I genuinely feel like it could be true. We already know Usopp posesses quite powerful haki, like what he showed in Dressrosa, so I believe it's not really that much of a stretch, especially considering the fact that he's shown himself to posess the disposition and determination of a conqueror when push comes to shove.

I love to see videos about Usopp. Melon Teee and now you. He is a great character despite being superhuman.

THIS IS WHY USSOP WAS AND IS MY FAVORITE OF THE STRAWHATS!!!!! He's a coward when facing his opponents, and kinda fails upwards, and i feel soooooo identified by that. That's why my favourite fight of the series is ussop vs luffy. Because he didn't care that he was his captain and he couldn't win, he went and gave a batman-like performace, showing his creativity on a battlefield. And that's why these last couple of arcs I'm kinda disappointed that ussop couldn't have a big achievement on the onigashima battle.

Thank you so much for this, i have always ident'd with Usopp... You are the best! Usopp embodies the "imposter syndrome" the best!

Real talk. I wish I was more like Usopp. Man knows where he is on the power scaling totem pole and he faces the insanity anyway. Low key, he's the bravest character on the whole ship (if not the show). Sure he complains, sure his knees shake, but bravery isn't the absence of fear. Its being there inspite of how much you just want to run away.

As a huge fan of Usopp this video made me genuinely so happy

Usopp is very inspiring and without him we wouldn't have gotten this far. He's also one of Luffy's best friends those gag moments with Usopp and Chopper in East Blue are some of my fav clips to rewatch and laugh my ass off to. We got the Ace Novel now we need Usopp's Fables!!! 🔥

"Captain" Usopp The Hero. Thank you very much.

Very thorough analysis and your editing is on point as usual. I really like how you often incorporate history/mythology into your videos. I'd love to see you cover more characters like this!

lol i had a small jumpscare when you started talking about swiss folklore cuz as a swiss person i never imagined someone outside our small country would know about wilhelm tell much less talk about the myth in a one piece theory

Im so glad to see somebody make a video on him! Ussop has been my favorite OP character ever since i started. I hope with all my heart that if we get a full Elbaf arc it will heavily focus on Ussop, just like Whole Cake was for Sanji. He really deserves it, by this point he achieved his dream, he is a brave warrior, but thats something he has to believe himself, until Ussop can himself believe his own lies his dream wont be achieved and I love that. Also if he actually gets conqueres it will be so funny lmao

You gave me an idea Hidden. Great video!❤

Amazing video, as always! I really do feel like a proud parent whenever I think of Usopp, especially as a long ass time reader 😂 But seriously, watching him slowly but surely becoming the brave warrior he dreams to be, making an impact on the people around him, particularly when he's not trying to be "brave" and just being his kind, anxious, and creative self, is making my heart swell with pride and joy. 10/10 character imo and will forever root for him. P.s. Usopp mastering botany makes complete sense to me as well. He's always been handy and opted to using unconventional methods to fight. He seems quite confident being in the wilderness too (compared to Sanji or Nami, for example). Pretty sure he uses peppers and spices as weapons at some point too lmaoo

That's weird. Usopp has always been my favorite character because he's more relatable. I don't really focus much on the escapism aspect of storytelling though. In my book good fiction should be a commentary of real-life experiences.

Awesome video mate, really enjoyed your breakdown of Ussop and his path towards heroism ❤🎉

Great video Hidden! Knocked it out of the park!

Thank you so much for the fantastic content! I love the intro and vibe music all throughout! Much love, comrade!!

This was beautifully said, I loved both your analysis and word choice. Such a great video

Great to see another one of your exquisit videos my friend! Thanks and best wishes

Been waiting for this video! And it did not disappoint at all! Loved the video and loved the thumbnail great job

Your videos and essays are a blessing for the OP community, keep up this amazing work man !!

Absolutely amazing video, I had never thought of usopps plant abilities that way before! Most deserved subscription of all time lol

Ok I must say, for Oda to take Don Quixote, and make 2 different charecters(one of who shares his name) parallel him in different ways, shows how Usopp might be his self insert(if we ignore shanks and gear 5). I believe the themes of the story are literlly being shown through Usopps mere existance and it just goes unnoticed due to *agendas*. You said "It's how One Piece even came to be" and that statement has multiple layers of truth to it(Hidden can really rap, that entandre got me). Not only is it literally how Oda even came up with the idea of the story(due to mainly Vicky the Viking, Toriyama, and well literally every source of literature out there at this point) but literally on the first page Roger says it and so does the chapter title. The ability to suspend your disbelief and dream is literally the reason the world is where it is right now. Man Oda is such a GOAT! Even when he's wack he's still spitting!

Amazing video essay - probably one of the best ones I’ve ever seen.

Thank you for this my dude! I genuinely hope Usopp gets his moment again. Feels diff ever since post time skip, it maybe just his growth. But he has been my fav because he has been so relatable. ❤

I really enjoyed your analysis of Usopp's character- he's always been my favorite straw hat, and I very much look forward to seeing his character arc come to a satisfying end!

Love your channel man! Keep it up! This video brought me to tears man it was not only a great theory but a beautifully written and presented one!

Only halfway through so I haven't seen your conclusion to all this which will probably be your original input to it but up till now it's a lot that was speculated and theorized for years now and I absolutely love all the theories... I personally always felt like oda WANTS usopps story to end in a sad but heroic way, that usopp (the boy who was always the embodiment around fear of death) will somehow die a martyr death to directly save his crews life (and therefore the whole world)... And I think he'll do it by lying and in the end he'll be so brave and so happy to give his life that he basically fulfills his dream like he could've never in any other way... He'll probably act cry while dying but be as brave as no one before him

You’re my favorite 1P creator. Keep it up man!

Great video! Subscribed, cant wait for more like these

Great video as always.

finally got around to watching this one. great work man, i loved it

This is a really well put together video!

i doubt it would happen but knowing oda we all must remember the possibility that usopp ate a devil fruit at the start of the series that lets his lies become true (even if they take a long time)

Wow, great video! Very underrated. Really makes me appreciated usopp more.

This video is incredible! Usopp is one of my favorite characters of all time.

I love ussopp and this one of the best videos on him I’ve seen since watching OP. Fantastic job

I really have to say, that is such a great video. Everything in this is so well made. Props 2 u brother.

Your videos are goated bro. Love every one of them

Yessir always a great day when island drops a vid 🎉

Bro!!! Props to whoever made that intro with " Usolando... God Usopp". It match the beat sooo well. And Thanks for the video. It was enjoyable. From a fan of Usopp

Man i love your intro to the videos and the chill music. Super videos keep it up.
